Lecture

Integers Representation: Sign-and-Magnitude vs Two's Complement

Description

This lecture covers the representation of integers in logic systems, focusing on sign-and-magnitude and two's complement notations. It explains how addition and subtraction are performed in these systems, highlighting the differences in complexity. The one's complement representation is introduced as an alternative to reduce the complexity of operations. The lecture also discusses overflow and underflow issues in integer representations, emphasizing the limited range of numbers that can be represented with a given number of bits.
